Charming stay with incredible views
It was an excellent stay overall. Particular highlights were the breathtaking views from the property, especially at sunrise and on clear nights, and the central location affording convenient access to all of the Berkshires.

Enchanting 'French Country' Getaway
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Frederica's guest house! The 'French country' vibe instantly made us feel at home. The pool and grounds were even more stunning than the photos. The highlight was definitely the pool area and the beautiful grounds. The relaxing atmosphere and natural surroundings provided the perfect escape! We were pleased to bring our two golden doodles along, although the on-leash requirement was a bit restrictive. Nonetheless, it didn't significantly impact our overall enjoyment. In summary, Frederica's guest house offers a charming retreat with its cozy interior, breathtaking pool, and tranquil ambiance. We appreciate Frederica for sharing this lovely space with us and look forward to returning in the future. If you are thinking about booking this vacation home, go ahead and do it! You'll have a great time!

Best Berkshires Getaway By Far!
Our hosts were wonderful and thoughtful. The cottage was a perfect summer getaway and retreat for me, my husband, and our 4 year old. The pool was a huge hit with the little one and us. We made sure we took a daily dip. My toddler was ecstatic about the Hello Kitty toy waiting for her! The stay was perfect and our hosts met all of our needs. Can’t wait to return!

A Gem!
The view is gorgeous! Frederica is a wonderful host. We had a peaceful week with our little dog in her quaint cottage. It was roomy enough for us to work, eat and sleep without feeling crowded. It was our first trip to the Berkshires and we took short drives to the cute towns of Lenox (25min), Stockbridge (10 min), and Williamstown (1hr) Great Barrington is a quick five-minute drive down the hill with a lot of great restaurants, shopping and pop-up live music on the sidewalks. What's not to like?- it was awesome!

Wonderful getaway!
Beautiful, quiet country retreat an easy drive from many cultural attractions! Large and airy, with ample room for two, it's an easy place to spend a week without feeling a bit cramped, with great views and a thoughtful host who provided many extras and was always available but respectful of privacy. Hope to return next year!
